The crab, the bullsce. and the sloe,
They buTgeon in the spring;
And when the west wind melts the snow,
The redetarts build and sing.
But Deaths atwork In rind aud root,
And loves the green buds best:
And when the pairing music's mute,
He spares the empty nest.
Death Death
Death Is master of lord aud clown;
Close the coffin and hammer IL down.
When nuts are brown and sere without,
And white aud plump within,
And Juicy gourds are passed about,
And trtckle down the chin;
when comes the reaper with his scythe,
And reaps and nothing leaves.

And sups among the sheaves.
Death! Death!
Lower the coffin aud slip the cord;
Death Is master of clown and lord.
When logs about the house are stacked.
And next years hose Is knit,
AND tales are told and Jokes are cracked,
And feggots blaze and spit;

A teacher in the Sund az school
Had taught her scholars few
The truths which scholars ought to snow
Who read the Bible through.
But on the day herein set down
new ore had come in
A little lao, with keen bright eyes,
And innocent OF sin.
The teseher asked them all around
Such questions as she thought
Would 81 their minds and bring about
The object that she sought.
They knew OF Adam aud his sin.
OF Paul and Peter, too;
OF Jacob. Joseph, David, 6aul,
And him his brother slew.
And then the teacher asked her class,
IL any one could tell
Who Pharaoh was OF course !" she said,
"You know that very we'll"
But. strange to say. no hand arose,
And silence, with a blow,
Had struck the class. ana not q one
The answer seemed to know.
At last the new boys hand went up
swell, who was Pharaoh. lsdT'
The teacher smileo-the new boy said:

The Academy.
In ancient days. wnen all was young,
And Love and Hope were rife.
Dan Cupid fed on rustic fare,
And lived country life.
He rose betimes at break of day,
And round the country hRrried;
Upstirring hearts that were un we'd,
And soothing down the married,
But then, on wider mischief bent,
He hied him to the city;
And finding much to suit his taste,
He stayed there-more's the pity.
Men built him there golden house,
Bedight with golden stars;
They feasted him on golden grain,
And wine in golden jars.
THEY draped his pretty nakedness
In richest cloth o igold,
And set him up In business,
Where Love was bought and sold,
And thus he led q city life,
Forgetting his nativity;
Since then he's gone from bad to worse.
From Cupid 10 cupidity.

Such a little thipg-a letter.

Written thoughts and mute expressions,
Full OF pleasure, fraught with pain.
when our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes q CLEAN OF comfort bright
In the mutual promise gwen.

Plans and doings of the absent.
Scraps of news we like to hear,
All remind us, cen though distant,
Kind remembrance keeps us near.
Yet sometimes a single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade,
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blights our hopes, and makes them fade.
Messengers of Joy or sorrow,
Life or death, success, despair,
Bearers of affections wishes,
Greeting kind or loving prayer.
Prayer or greeting, were we present,
Would be felt but half uDsaid:
We can write. because our letters
Not our fsces-wil be read.
Who has not some treasured letters,
Fragments choice of others lives:
Relics, some OF friends departed,
Fliends whose memory still survives?
Touched by neither time nor distance,
Will their words unspoken last:
Voicelt IS whispers OF the present.
